      1 # APA102 Driver {#apa102-driver}
      2 
      3 This driver provides support for APA102 addressable RGB LEDs. They are similar to the [WS2812](ws2812) LEDs, but have increased data and refresh rates.
      4 
      5 ## Usage {#usage}
      6 
      7 In most cases, the APA102 driver code is automatically included if you are using either the [RGBLight](../features/rgblight) or [RGB Matrix](../features/rgb_matrix) feature with the `apa102` driver set, and you would use those APIs instead.
      8 
      9 However, if you need to use the driver standalone, add the following to your `rules.mk`:
     10 
     11 ```make
     12 APA102_DRIVER_REQUIRED = yes
     13 ```
     14 
     15 You can then call the APA102 API by including `apa102.h` in your code.
     16 
     17 ## Basic Configuration {#basic-configuration}
     18 
     19 Add the following to your `config.h`:
     20 
     21 |Define                     |Default      |Description                                                       |
     22 |---------------------------|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
     23 |`APA102_DI_PIN`            |*Not defined*|The GPIO pin connected to the DI pin of the first LED in the chain|
     24 |`APA102_CI_PIN`            |*Not defined*|The GPIO pin connected to the CI pin of the first LED in the chain|
     25 |`APA102_DEFAULT_BRIGHTNESS`|`31`         |The default global brightness level of the LEDs, from 0 to 31     |
     26 
     27 ## API {#api}
     28 
     29 ### `void apa102_init(void)` {#api-apa102-init}
     30 
     31 Initialize the LED driver. This function should be called first.
     32 
     33 ---
     34 
     35 ### `void apa102_set_color(uint16_t index, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue)` {#api-apa102-set-color}
     36 
     37 Set the color of a single LED. This function does not immediately update the LEDs; call `apa102_flush()` after you are finished.
     38 
     39 #### Arguments {#api-apa102-set-color-arguments}
     40 
     41  - `uint16_t index`  
     42    The LED index in the APA102 chain.
     43  - `uint8_t red`  
     44    The red value to set.
     45  - `uint8_t green`  
     46    The green value to set.
     47  - `uint8_t blue`  
     48    The blue value to set.
     49 
     50 ---
     51 
     52 ### `void apa102_set_color_all(uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue)` {#api-apa102-set-color-all}
     53 
     54 Set the color of all LEDs.
     55 
     56 #### Arguments {#api-apa102-set-color-all-arguments}
     57 
     58  - `uint8_t red`  
     59    The red value to set.
     60  - `uint8_t green`  
     61    The green value to set.
     62  - `uint8_t blue`  
     63    The blue value to set.
     64 
     65 ---
     66 
     67 ### `void apa102_flush(void)` {#api-apa102-flush}
     68 
     69 Flush the PWM values to the LED chain.
     70 
     71 ---
     72 
     73 ### `void apa102_set_brightness(uint8_t brightness)` {#api-apa102-set-brightness}
     74 
     75 Set the global brightness.
     76 
     77 #### Arguments {#api-apa102-set-brightness-arguments}
     78 
     79  - `uint8_t brightness`  
     80    The brightness level to set, from 0 to 31.
